Celebrities line up in Michael Jackson defence

In the grand theatre that is the Michael Jackson courtroom, a celebrity cast is lining up in defence of the pop singer, testing whether star power can help persuade jurors.

Actor Macaulay Culkin of Home Alone fame was first among the famous witnesses, followed a few days later by celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos. Elizabeth Taylor is on the list of possible witnesses along with Jay Leno, Chris Tucker and many others.
